"textContent": "AI search is changing how people discover content. A page can rank in traditional search and still be hard for AI answer engines to extract, summarize or cite.\n\nHere is the practical checklist I use before calling a page AI-search friendly.\n\n## 1. Start with a direct answer\n\nThe page should answer the main question in the first few paragraphs. A good answer block is clear, factual and easy to quote.\n\n## 2. Use a clean heading structure\n\nUse one H1, then organize the page with descriptive H2 and H3 sections. Avoid vague headings like \"Introduction\" or \"More details\" when a specific question would be clearer.\n\n## 3. Add visible Q&A content\n\nFAQ content can help when it matches real user questions. The important part is that the questions and answers must be visible on the page, not only hidden in JSON-LD.\n\n## 4. Use schema that matches the content\n\nUseful schema types include FAQPage, Article, Product, LocalBusiness and BreadcrumbList. The markup should reflect what users can actually see on the page.\n\n## 5. Show trust and freshness signals\n\nAdd author, publisher, published date and updated date where appropriate. This is especially important for guides, comparisons and advice content.\n\n## 6. Keep the content crawlable\n\nIf important text only appears after client-side rendering or user interaction, search engines and AI answer systems may miss it.\n\n## Free checklist tool\n\nI made a free AEO Checker that scans a URL for these issues and returns a score with fix suggestions:\n\nhttps://www.aeotools.dev/aeo-checker\n\nThere is also a JSON-LD generator for FAQPage, Article, Product, LocalBusiness and BreadcrumbList:\n\nhttps://www.aeotools.dev/schema-generator",
